Maguk Gorge

Kakadu · NT

A stunning plunge pool at the base of a waterfall hidden deep in the sandstone country of southern Kakadu. The walk in follows a sandy creek bed through monsoon vine thicket before revealing the gorge and its emerald pool. Rock ledges provide perfect spots for sunbaking and the waterfall creates a natural massage under its flow. One of Kakadu best-kept secrets that rewards those willing to make the journey.
